Final answer:

Tom provides several quotes about Mayella, describing her as thin, reticent, and with wonderful eyes.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the book 'To Kill a Mockingbird', the character Tom speaks about Mayella in several quotes. Here are three of them:

  1. 'Yet even today, after fifty years, I cannot get over the impression she made upon me of a woman who was, in the essence of her nature, thin and colorless.'
  2. 'What I thought lack of character, of personality, may have been merely reticence; but again and again there comes back to me the thought that she never said or did a thing—except the one terrible thing that one could remember.'
  3. 'There was nothing remarkable that one could point to about her. I cannot recall either her smile or her voice, though both were sweet, no doubt, as the smile and the voice of a Southern woman would be. Until that morning on the upper veranda I had not noticed that her eyes were wonderful.'
